Thanks to this unusually generous [ page of exposition] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], we know that The Platonic Solid is the name of the mace Andronicus Valois wields as The Storm King. Its origin is muddled: according to Violetta, the King received it from Queen Albia of England, but later on the Master of Paris says he was present for its construction by his mentor Van Rijn. Whether this all fits together or is an oversight on the Foglios' part remains to be seen.

  • Thanks to this unusually generous [ page of exposition] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], we know that The Platonic Solid is the name of the mace Andronicus Valois wields as The Storm King. Its origin is muddled: according to Violetta, the King received it from Queen Albia of England, but later on the Master of Paris says he was present for its construction by his mentor Van Rijn. Whether this all fits together or is an oversight on the Foglios' part remains to be seen. The head of the mace is a (more or less?) octagonal prism. This shape, despite the weapon's name, is not a Platonic solid (see below). The Jägermonsters refer to it as Smasher, and indeed, it enables the King to [ smash even through the ground under Paris to tunnel directly where he wants to go] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]]. When this power is later used on a cadre of Tweedle's armored knights, the results are [ not pleasant;] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] they are changed to ghastly-looking zombies under the Storm King's control. When used against the Master, however, his familiarity with the weapon's power allows him to literally catch the blast and redirect the energy to his own ends.
